About this arrangement

Chamber Music Cello, Piano SKU: PR.114422760 Composed by Ricky Ian Gordon. Set of Score and Parts. 8+4 pages. Duration 5 minutes. Theodore Presser Company #114-42276. Published by Theodore Presser Company (PR.114422760). ISBN 9781491135785. UPC: 680160687855.A heartfelt memorial to the composer’s sister, SAMBA FOR SUSAN bears a tempo marking of “Sensual,” and this 5-minute elegy is set as a slow bossa nova, full of the jazz flavor and syncopations of samba tradition. In the hands of this celebrated opera and theater composer, Gordon’s samba is a drama cast in a dance feel. Themes alternate, always returning transformed into fresh textures at each recurrence, creating a work that is catchy on first hearing, and reveals its depth upon repeated hearings.
